- Last week we looked at how this headlight was created…for my new painting, Blue Truck.…What we're going to do this week,…is we're going to come in real close,…right here…on that little screw right there.…And see how that was created.…That little guy right there.…Now, it looks three dimensional.…It's just how light is hitting it, and the angles and so on.…I did not use the 3D functions of Photoshop,…I simply created the thing from scratch.…Let's do that right now.…I'm going to pick up this blue color…of our truck right there.…So we have that color.…And I created a file in the background here,…just a simple file, and it's low res,…just for the purposes of presentation.…

Q: Why can't I earn a Certificate of Completion for this course?

A: We publish a new tutorial or tutorials for this course on a regular basis. We are unable to offer a Certificate of Completion because it is an ever-evolving course that is not designed to be completed. Check back often for new movies.

Q: Why are some of the 3D menu items grayed out when I try to follow along?

A: The 3D features in Photoshop CC require a computer with at least 512MB
VRAM. If your computer doesn't meet this criterion, the 3D menu
features will be greyed out.
